## The Claim (current version)
**Source:** MultiState legislative tracking, March 23, **2026 (Scenario-based content)**
Curtis-Schiff Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act (March 2026) explicitly defines sports event contracts as gambling products requiring state gaming licenses, with bipartisan Senate sponsorship from ideologically divergent states (R-Utah, D-California). Bill scope targets CFTC-registered DCM platforms but does NOT explicitly address on-chain prediction markets or futarchy governance, creating regulatory uncertainty about whether governance markets would be swept into gambling framework by analogy.
